CO0299 Multiply - Lot 2 - November 2023

Award outcome

Description

The purpose of this competition for Lot 2 "Family Learning - supporting parents with children's schoolwork" is to invite bids to create and deliver training provision for parents wanting to increase their numeracy skills in order to help their children with schoolwork, and also help with their own progression. Provision should enhance and scale up the family learning offer in Essex, whilst providing opportunities for parents to learn some valuable skills for life too. Proposed curriculums for this provision should directly link to the current Mathematics curriculum as part of the National Curriculum for pupils in Key Stage 1 and/or Key Stage 2. Eligible target learners are parents and carers 19+ who have not previously attained a GCSE Grade 4/C or higher maths qualification and would like to enhance their knowledge. Learners will also have the opportunity to specifically learn how to support their child's/children's learning in the broader subject area of Maths. It is the intention that the provision will be delivered in locations that are convenient and easily accessible for learners, such as schools, nurseries and community settings. Bidders will ensure that this is a safe and appropriate learning environment. Learning sessions will enable skills sharing through creative intergenerational interactions and reflective learning and encourage increased understanding between individuals of different age groups. Aligned to family learning, the offer should also help to build confidence and provide appropriate careers education, information, advice and guidance to enable parents and carers to kickstart their own adult learning. Expected duration of training courses is between 6 to 10 guided learning hours.
